BMC Meeting Announcement –Tuesday, May 1st. – 7:30 PM
Program: Mineral Collecting in Far Eastern Russia: Dal’Negorsk
Speaker: Ted Johnson

The May meeting of the Boston Mineral Club will feature a presentation by Ted Johnson on his collecting experiences during a trip to the famous Russian mineral localities near Dal’Negorsk in the Russian Far East.  Ted regularly participates in collecting adventures that most of us only dream about and this was certainly one of them.  I’m sure that many club members have purchased specimens from this well-known locality for their collections and all members are encouraged to bring in some of their Dal’Negorsk specimens to display.  Here is a summary of Ted’s presentation:

In recent years we’ve seen many of Dal’Negorsk’s fabulous minerals on the market and in numerous publications.  On this trip we travel to far eastern Russia and visit the mines and quarries of Dal’Negorsk.  We’ll collect underground in the mines and also in the open pit quarries.
